Bring back the soap Opera Eldorado 

The Spanish-based soap opera was set in the fictional town of Los Barcos – like EastEnders’ Walford with an outdoor set that cost around £10 million to build – and starred, among others, Jesse Birdsall, Patricia Brake, Polly Perkins and Derek Martin. It followed the exploits of Ex-Pats living on the Costa Del Sol. The BBC hoped its exotic location and sunny nature would make it a hit with a mix of hard-hitting storylines and lighter plots.

Despite only having aired for a year the show remains popular thanks to repeats and on U &Drama channel and been on britbox and U & Gold in the past . 

At the time of its axing ratings were around 8 million and on the rise. The issues with production had been ironed out and the storylines were becoming, over its final six months, a hit with viewers. This maybe is why some still long for a TV return to Los Barcos. However, at the time Yentob had been swayed by the continual barrage of negative stories in the press about the show. Not that he needed much swaying in axing populist programming.

The serial ran for nearly 160 episodes launching on July 6th 1992, with the sun setting over the villas on 9th July 1993. The final sequence playing out with a vocal version of the theme tune ‘When You Go Away’ by Johnny Griggs.

Unfortunately with soap opera ratings all generally in decline but still loved but could of gone up . 

I just hope a channel controller sees the potential and commissions a revisit to Eldorado in the future.” get a new version or new series  or Mini Series  .

If you want to see it revisited and have a new series or to start again sign the petition.
